Moving to a new city can be stressful. We want to help you rest easy that you will have a place to stay with our international student housing guarantee. All UiB international students have the benefit of guaranteed housing provided they meet certain requirements. Explore the information in the tabs below to learn more.

When you apply through SiB you will do so using the reservation code for UiB students.

Reservation code

The reservation code is a 5 digit number and will be provided to you by email either in the application process to UiB or with your Letter of Acceptance from UiB, depending on the type of student you are:

Note that SiB has a general requirement of a minimum stay of four months before you can terminate your tenancy agreement with two months' notice. This means that you must pay rent for a total of at least six months.

Housing on the private market

If you intend to find housing on the private market, there are several websites that may be useful.

We recommend the Study Bergen website to get an overview of different areas close to the city centre and to the university campus.

You may wish to utilise Facebook groups or other social media platforms where vacancies in flats may be announced.

You may explore other online resources that offer advertisements for vacant apartments and rooms including hybel.no and finn.no
